Time at the airport - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

On some air bases the Air Force is on one side of the field and civilian aircraft use the other side of the field, with the control tower in the middle. One day the tower received a call from a pilog asking, "What time is it?"

The tower responded, "Who is calling?"

The pilot replied, "What difference does it make?"

"It makes a lot of difference," the tower replied --

"If it is an American Airlines flight, it is 3 o'clock.

"If it is an Air Force plane, it is 1500 hours.

"If it is a Navy aircraft, it is 6 bells.

"If it is an Army aircraft, the big hand is on the 12 and the little hand is on the 3.

"If it is a Marine Corps aircraft, it's Thursday afternoon and 120 minutes to 'Happy Hour'."
